    NEW YORK --

    The One Club for Creativity has announced the four talented young creatives who were selected as 2025 Portfolio Night All-Stars Grand Prize winners, each receiving a free trip to Creative Week 2026 in New York.

    Established in 2003, Portfolio Night has long been recognized as the world’s largest advertising portfolio review program, taking place in dozens of cities around the world on the same date to help the next generation of creative talent entering the industry.

    A highlight of the program is Portfolio Night All-Stars, where industry professionals from each host city select one young creative in their market with the best portfolios.

    The All-Stars are then assembled into teams and work virtually on a brief, provided and judged by Google, who served as the exclusive global sponsor of this year’s edition of Portfolio Night.

    Based on the brief, the following team of 2025 PN All-Stars was selected as Grand Prize winners:

    Kaisa Kettunen, art director, graphic designer, Helsinki (PN hosted by DDB Nord)
    Amar Salim, art director, graphic designer, photographer, Dubai (PN hosted by Impact BBDO)
    Roberto Schettino, copywriter, Milan (PN hosted by SBAM)
    Ahmed Shohoud, art director, graphic designer, Riyadh (PN hosted by Impact BBDO)

    The Google team managing the Portfolio Night partnership and judging the brief were Sheila Larkin, Google Creative Lab’s talent lead, Natalie Dennis, group creative lead, Greg Calvert, visual designer, and Kevin Koller, group creative director.

    “This year’s All-Stars showed incredible craft, hustle, and heart,” said Google’s Dennis. “The speed at which they came together from around the world, fusing their unique creative perspectives to tackle our Gemini brief, resulted in a showcase that was both insightful and a total joy to watch.”

    While at Creative Week 2026, the PN All-Stars Grand Prize winners will attend The One Show 2026, ADC 105th Annual Awards, Young Ones Student Awards, and One Show Indies awards ceremonies, AI Creative Challenge, and industry networking events.

    Since starting 22 years ago, Portfolio Night has taken place in 70 cities across 45 countries, with more than 13,000 portfolios reviewed.

    This important event, presented by the global non-profit One Club for Creativity, serves as the gateway for young talent to enter the ad industry or find a new job. It enables the best of the present–hundreds of renowned international creative directors at host agencies–to meet and mentor the leaders of the future in industry hubs around the world.

    Portfolio Night has also become a crucial tool for agencies in recruiting top young talent, providing a platform for recognition from local industry peers, and giving agencies a place on the global stage as the ad world tunes in to this one-of-a-kind event.

    Branding for Portfolio Night 2025 was created by 2022 Young Guns Winner, Ana Miminoshvili represented by Glasshouse Artists in North America.

    A woman from Florida pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the attempted murder of Rihanna.

    Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, of Orlando, also pleaded not guilty through her attorney to more than a dozen other felony counts in Los Angeles Superior Court.

    Prosecutors allege the singing superstar, her hip-hop star partner A$AP Rocky and their three young children were among the people assaulted at their home in the Beverly Hills area on March 8 when Ortiz, 35, pulled up to the property and sprayed about 20 bullets from an AR-15 style rifle into the tall exterior wall.

    Ortiz is charged with 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an occupied vehicle or dwelling. She could get life in prison if convicted on all charges.

    Her lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Derek Ray Dillman, entered the plea on her behalf as Ortiz appeared behind glass in a custody area, wearing yellow jail clothes with her blond hair in braids. She spoke only to agree to waive her right to a speedy preliminary hearing, the next phase of the case where evidence is presented to determine whether a trial is warranted.

    Her lawyer asked that her bail be reduced from $1.9 million to $70,000 based on her ability to pay. Judge Theresa McGonigle declined the request and kept the bail the same.

    The prosecutor, arguing against the reduction, said she's a major risk to the community and would likely flee.

    "This case involves a dangerous, deliberate shooting into occupied homes," Deputy District Attorney Alexander Bott said. "This is the kind of conduct that could easily have resulted in multiple homicides."

    When Ortiz was arrested hours after the shooting, she was alone in her car with the rifle, more rounds and a wig she intended to... Read More
